Quote:

"The server-side lo_import and lo_export functions behave considerably
differently from their client-side analogs. These two functions read and
write files in the server's file system, using the permissions of the
database's owning user. Therefore, their use is restricted to
superusers. In contrast, the client-side import and export functions
read and write files in the client's file system, using the permissions
of the client program. The client-side functions can be used by any
PostgreSQL user."
